sat hs wed to trespass on the time of the House further, heshould out, express his determination to oppose the motion of the Right Honourable Baronet, let it assume what shape it might, more particularly as he was conscious that the effect of such a wing of inculpatory resolations would tend to lessen, in the pilblie mind, that confidence in the Clergy which was so essen tial to the due performance of their duty, and calculated to cir eumecribe their comforts, leesen their respectability, and impo "" eeelesiestieel Persons, not excepting even the incumbents of the smaller living% and the whole Church Establishments in Mr. SPRING RICE - supported the motion of his Bight flea. Friend. Me DAWSON professed that be thought that thernotion of the Right lion. Baronet was founded neither on law nor equity. It well not inferable front any act of the Legislature, that it wag the intention of Parliament to render livings liable to often repeated or fresh valuations. All the Acts which had been peseta for fresh vehiations of livings, in the North and other parts or Ireland, in the reigns of ,lames the First s Charles ills' Se'enni, and Queen Anne, were limited to the valuation of hying* not before velure!. It wan true that some had altogether escaped Yaletation. Whatever might be done as to these liv certainly it would not he fair to value the whole of the I" livings now, in order to raise a rack rent, or increased re *Mee of of Church property, in direct contravention of art Act of Parliament which had made an arrangement that no church livings Should be, taken at their highest value. There were *slier reasons of great weight in his mind which ought to for bid say rub intaference of the advocates of reform from touch ing the comma of church livings in Ireland in particular. The situation and condition of tie Clergy in Ireland wait. peculiar : their respectable demeanour, their exemplary conduct, and un- ani , ctetlptety, alone enabled them to uphold the dignity of their tuition in a society composed o' zealous advocates of different religious creeds. In such ii state of things it watt essential they should not be deprived of any part of the means theteposseased, or in other words be renderee incapable by the narrowness of their incomes of doing acts of benevolence and charity in their immediate neighbourhood. That they poesesesed the inclina tion to perform their duty in an exemplary manner, he was proud to have it in lint power to bear the most ample testimony. tie meld speak from experience, and he must say that no class of clergymen, of' any description, had entitled themselves to higher reepeet, or deserved more the esteem and gratitude of toasty. LOCKIIA RT wined not assent to the general proposi tion laid down by the Resta 'lon. Baronet, that the Clergy were ()bilged to contribute generally to the accommodation of all the different congregations throughout a Diocese—this would be to m e ee them to lean one on the other, which was neither expedient nor equitable. The property of the Church was sa cred and inviolable, and it would tee tried too closely on the stups or Henry the Eighth, who not only deprived the Church 111 his (ley of its income and property, but distributed it amongst werthiess fevoorites and Corporate Bodies, if the !louse should new proceed to a fresh valuation of church livings in Ireland, for the purpose or applying these funds to purposes to which they had never hitherto been appropriated. Mr. le contended upon the words of the patent that the Patentees had a right to re-value the benefices. What then, lie ;Asked, were the facts even as they had been asserted by the Right Don. Gentleman ? No genteel valuation had ever been tentle, meiotic of the CoMmiseloners had been threatened with (11 " 11 '"el for ettempting to support the rights of the public. The Right, llote,flentleman had said that there wot:ld be no justice in Making it new valuation; but it untie:and to him that justice - ebsolutrly required a Atop to be put to the misapplies. tent of these funds. The object of the Right Ilan. Baronet we,, that justice should be done to the Sovereign who made the ftrant, anti tee the people for whose benefit they were made. It had been contended also that it would be en attack upon pro perty, and that it would endanger church property in Englund; but if it wets an uttack, it wits a just ettack, send if the church property In relief: mil was in the Nano eircemstances, it ought to follow the same rule. The pretence or danger to property generally was calculated only to lead the House astray. The /lon. Secretary had maid that .the Clergy of Ireland had no more right to sustain the expellee of keeping up the churches, than soldiers Mel to I er that of keeping up their burracks. It had nut been asserted that they bad a right to do so, all that was contended was, only that the proportion of the revenue of the Church appropriated for that purpose by the bounty of the s vereign wets not diverted from it. Ile admitted that the ceorch of Ireland had improved of late years, hat still he said ses not such as to do honour to the country.

Member thought proper to perse vere in calling for it. After a few observations from Mr. F. Buxton, Mr. Bernal, and Mr. W. Smith ; Mr. Hume consented to withdraw his motion, upon the understanding that'lhe Government would produce, as soon as possi b le, the reqtaeite information. Mr. HUM!: next moved for copies of Instructions from the Colonial Office, to the Commiseloners sent to . the West Indies, the Cape, and Sierra Leone, on the subject of sla ves. Mr. W . HORTON said, the office with which he was con nected had no objection to give any information on any point, but it did not wish to deal to generalities, to which he thought the present motion extended. Too much caution could not be used in dealing with this question, to keep down exaggerated statements on both sides. • Mr. W. 8311TH, in explanation, said that he did not. know any parties who wished to put forwerd exaggerated.stfttemente on the side of the question which be took. There was, he be lieved, no man, or set of men, who wished to . turn from labour to immediate emaneipation. He knew of no party that wished for immediate emancipation. All they called for was, that !melt a change should be made in the administration of the laws in the colonies, its would not only be n benefit to the planters, but would lead gradually to ultimate emancipation. .. ' Mr. GORDON said, that he constantly heard of a dim vowel of any desire for immediate emancipation of the slaves, but if he might judge from the speeches of some individuals, who interested themselves on this question, he should draw a conclusion. In u speech of an individual of high rank, at one of the recent meetings on this subject, he observed, that it was stated that it was the wish of the abolitionists to have this great measure carried in the lifetime of the g reat advocate fur bolition, the late Member for !Wandler, (Mr. Wilberforce). Now this he thought was looking decidedly for immediate abolition.--(A laugh-) • Mr. BLA I R complained that attempts were made by the circulation of letters through the country to create a. feeling against slavery, which already existed sufficiently strong in the country without such excitements. ' The motion was then put and agreed to.

Mr. WAIORTON said that these was a report made on this as well as on other subjects connected with the \Vest Istlia Coloniele by Conueissioners appointed by Act of Parliament, which would be laid before the House in a few days, and which he thought would he found to contain all the information that time Hon. Member required. That commission was still in activity, and would continue togive further information to the House. Ile hoped that tinder these circumstances the Hon. Member would withdraw this motion. • : Mr. HUME said, that if information on this subject were to be laid before the house, his object would be attained, and he would not, therefore, press his motion. All he,rlesired was correct intbrinetion. After a few words from Mr. W. SMITH, the motion was withdrawn. . . :\lr. 111.731 E next moved for an account of the numbe r of the • coloured population in die several West India Colonies, since the last census, and also an account of the nuniber of slaves manumitted since that period. This.wrie agreed to. The Hon. _Member next moved for copies of the original in structions, given by the Secretary for the Colonies , for the guidance of the commissioners sent to die West India Islands, the Cape ofbood Hope, and Sierra Leone, to inquire into, the condition of the colonies. Also copies of any supplementary instructions sent to them. • Mr. W. HORTON said, he had no objection to grant the Information required, provided It was not meant to include all the carreepondence with those Commissioners. Mr. II C.TME did not require the correspondence.—The Mo. don was put and agreed to. PUBLIC IM PROVE ME N TS. Mr. ARBUTHNOT, in rising to move for !lave to bring in a 11111 for the Improvement of Charing Cross and its vici nity, said, he need not detain time House by any eulogium upon the taste and the abilities of Mr. Nash, and those united with • him in the great work of the new street which bed been con cluded so much to the admiration of all who saw it. The int provements he was about. to propose, would he under the same able der. don, and he would proceed at once to state the ob jects of the plan. lie was aware how difficult it was to de scribe any thing of this nature without plans or drawings, and he should theretbre rest upon the indulgence of the House to excuse the tiecesearily imperfect manner in width lie should (Recharge his duty. First, it wile his intention to call upon the Holm to give powers, under the Bill, for 'naming all time stack of buildings situated between the Mews find St. Alar tin's-lane ; and also for purchasing the further stack of buildings beyond these, botuided on the north by Chandos-strect, extend ing southward to die Strand, and having its eastern termination near Bedford-street. The purpose of this extensive alteration would be not only to embellish that part of the town, but to melte a better communication between its west and eastern quarters. Uposs the first portion of the lend so purchased, it wait proposed to erect alarge quadrangle, the west side of which was, already formed by the bentiful edifice built by Mr. Smirite, and occupied its the Union Club-holm, and the College of Physicians. The east tide wool(' be erected on a line with the portico of St. Martin's church, and be competed of build ing* corresponding to those he had mentioned. On the north, there would he 4 row of b -, ildings continued front Pallonell-east to St. Martin's-church, :Minding a view of the splendid portico of that church from Pall-mall. It was his wish that the paint. Mr, statues, and works of art, possessed by the nation, should be placed in this range of buildingit,' because he' thought they would be More useful to the public there than in the British Museum. He, however, desired to• see them still under the guardianship of the Trustees of time British Museum.. It watt also under consideration to have in the centre of the quadrangle another large building to be devoted to the Royal Academy He • hats mentioned to many who thought differently, and preferred having die space left open ; but this world be matter left open to the decision or the House. The quadrangle would have its south side open to Charineecrose, Whitehall, and Parlietnent- • street. It would be in extent front west to east WO feet; and .from :the Statue op to what, in its present state, formed the stumbles, the space woold he of equal dimensions. The other part, for the purchase of which th:s thil was to provide, peen pied the grouna commencing at Chandos-street—running north and: south to the Stroud, and ending at Bedford-street. By this alteration the Strand, which in that part wits et present only 3,m feet, would be made lin feet wide, from' the (Onlmngle up as far us liediOrd,wreet. As all persons roust know how ill adapted theme parts of the town were for the transaction of the lousiness of so great It capital, be could not expect that the alter ation would he objected to. All time mails and stage.-coacher, from the western . perts oldie k ingdom, were now obliged to come down round Charing-cross, and enter time city by this narrow gulf,h : the consequence of which wits, that : it was constantly locked up, anti all descriptions of inconveniences, delays, and ac cidents occurred, which it Would he most desirable to pre vent. It was therefore intentled e when these houses were pulled down, to make a wide, commodious street, running in a line diagonally down to the Strand, r tosite Villiers-street ;so that persons driving in through Pal -mail, mi g ht pess micro's the upper part of' the .t.linelrangle, and, by eseiting . dewn this new street, be relieved from the stoppage, and other meboveniencee, now so justly matters of complaint. It wits alfei proposed us make another large carriage way front the new line of Street into Leicester-square, through the place called Ilemming'e. row ; and e second comiminicetion with the Strand, be. twi en Castle-court and liedibrd-street. Ile should hope that this errangement would not only mild to the beauty of the mettopolie, but by getting rid of many bud houses which now crowded that part of the town, increase the conve nience and the commodiousness of the inhabitants. He could lint be expected to give ntu idea of the beauty of the design . after which the alteration was to be carried into effect, because, as he had said before, he could not refer the House to plans. He was aware limit such an Undertaking most involve great ex pence, and it was necessary that he should explain to the House law thet expence was to be met. It was not the intention .to come to the Hm oe for any grant in respect to the emend slap t but if' it tuitions(' gallery, or any public building* were to tie erected, as forming a part of it, then it would he for time House to beer that part of the expence. Ile would not enter into detailed explanations at this stage of time Bill, but • he• could eay generally, from his knowledge of the means of hia own department, and from intiirmatien in re spect to inhere, that tile expenses of the undertaking could publics :without requieg an considerble aid from time A power wo ti uhl be y given by a the Bill to borrow money for the purpose of carrying : on the wink, and . the plan proposed was, to effect this by mortgaging a• part of time 'building.. It would, in fact, he nothing more than w continua- tuns of the former Bill tinder which the new street had been completed.: This-was the general plan, and he hoped it would meet with no resistance. If they. neglected this opportunity of purchasing the property which occupied the ground, it would perhaps never occur again. Perhaps it might be satisfactory to the House to know What had been the result ot' the building of it egont-street, 'which hail contributed so nitwit to the bemutity and convenience of the metropolis. Let it be remembered, too, that they undertook that great work during time most ex pensive war in Which time country was ever engaged ; and he believed there was not one !mermen in the metropolis who now re, ratted ihat it was untiertaken.—(klear, hear f)—The result of the bedding of these two streets, Regent-street and the new street, was, that while the Crown property had been consider ably improved, anti a new permenent irderest created, they, at the present moment, prodoced three per cent. upon the money which had been expended._ Dear, bear !)—He was aware that the building of the proposed quadrangle would create an ex pence greater in proportion than the streets, because there would be a greater quantity of buildings, removed from ground which would have nothing productive in their place. But even combining this with the New . strect and I gent-street, anti' S i calculating the aggregate expenc e anti produ ofthitintef, Ite thought they would yield an interest of t wo t he* litiTtal per cent. Independent of the immediate athrantages w licit he, confidently ascribed to the plan, he did think that the present state of the metropolis with respect to budding ought strongly to (Repose them in favour of its adoption. Buildings of every deecription were growing up in all quarters, and keeping out the air from the town, and it was impossible to say what would he the extent to which this would be carried. .Ile therefore thought that, whether for the high or for the low, whe ther for adding to the beauty of the capital, or for making it more salubrious by having these open spaces, by means of which the, air could circulate and he purl red--the alteration would be equally deslrable and beneficial. Ile should propose that the Bill be read a first time that night, and referred to a Committee ; and upon the report of the Committee it would be for the House to decide whether the plan be adopted or not. The Right lion. Gentleman moved for leave to bring in a Bill for extending to Charing-cross and places adjacent the powers of the Act for making a more convenient communication with the West-end of the Town, and for enabling the Commissioners lof Land Revenues to rant leases of the Crown Lands. Sir M. W. RIDLEY approved of the motion, and thought the House ought also to consider the propriety of improving theme parts of the Strand near Exeter 'Change..--( Hear, hear !) —After what had recently happened, there were the strongest reasons for removing the Alenagerie from such a situation. The lion. Baronet also expressed his wish that the public should he admitted to the same privileges in the Regent's Park as in the other parks, which were open for their recreation and amuse ment. He understood that an objection had been made on ac count of the pastures, which let for about a hundred a-year. Ile thought that if the wood was properly protected, the public might be admitted withotit any injury to the park, and that they ought to have, free ingress and egress to it. lie was sure there was no one who had seen the new streets but would hear testimony to the skill and taste of Mr. Nash. Whatever differences of opinions might prevail.as to particular buildings, he was sure all would agree that upon the whole the work was the most magnificent appendage to a metropolis, in the form of a street, which could be found in Europe. It did the greatest credit to the architect, and to the taste of all who were concern. ed with him in forming the plan. , Mr. ARBUTHNOT said. that no one was more alive than he to the inconvenience to which the public were exposed in the vicinity of Exeter 'Change. But in making public improve ments, they must deal its tenderly as they could with private property. Now, the greater part of the neighbourhood of Exeter Change was the privaterimerty of Loid Exeter, who was not willing to part with it. Ile understood that when the leases were out, Lord Exeter himself proposed to make great improvements. All that he could say was, that he should . be very happy to give any aid in his power, or to come to any arrangements in vmformity with the intentions of that Nobleman. lie could assure the lion. Baronet that the subject of the Regent's Park had not escaped his attention, and he had indeed been speaking upon - that very subject in the course of the - day to the Hon: Member for Alontrose. : NVith respect to the produce of the herbage, the Hon. Baronet was mistaken as to its amount. Instead of its being only 100/. a year, it let for 1,800/. But be did not mean to say that this consideration ought to debar the public front its use. No alteration could be made this year, but every consideration would be given to the matter, and he looked forward to the future removal of the objections which existed now. Ile would take that opportu nity of adverting to the great additional facilities of re creation which bad lately been afforded to the public by the alterations in Hyde Park. He did this not because •he himself had executed the work, but because the idea had originated with his Majesty, is the most grecioue manner. When he had the honour of ,hewing; the plan of the other alterations to hie Majesty, the particular improvement of the new road was pointed out by his Majesty, as being likely to add to the public convenience and advantage.—(Hear, bear!) Mr. HUME did not object to the motion, but he hoped the public would be put to no expence.—(A laugh.)—lt was the wish of every one living in the neighbourhood that the barracks should be removed. Sir W. CONGREVE cordially agreed in the compliment paid to Mr. Nash, and thought there might be some %artifice of magnificence for the sake of reliving the publie from the hicon. vemeoce at Exeter 'Change. Leave was then given to bring in the Bill. SUPPLY. . The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER moved the bringing up of the Report of the Reeolution of Supply passed, on the lith of March. • Upon the Resolution for the Civil Contine'ences, M. HUME repeated the objections which he advanced in the Committee. Ile stated that time expetice of our Embassies alone was greater than all the civil expence of the Government of the United states of America. Nothing. was so calculated to bring Monarchy and all its trappings into disrepute aecom perisons of this nature. There was not so expensive a Govern ment as cure upon the face of the earth. • He thought the tliplo mimetic expenditure had beeo too large, and wished to express that opinion upon, the Attie - 10e. Ile should therefore move the addition of words, declaring, " ..that in 1702 the diplomatic expencee of the country artimmted to 113,989/., while in the lust eight years they had exceeded 2,500,000/.." Mr. Secretary CANNING said, It app ear ed to that if the House adopted the course recommended by the Hon. Mem- bee, it must prevent the vote. Mr. HUME said, he only wished to add the expression of his opinion. - The fen eICER said. that if the lion. Member submitted an abstract proposition •of this nature in such a form, it was necessary to look at the peg on which it hung. The Hon. Member would see, that if the course he proposed were adopted a reported resolution of a Committee of Supply would carry on the face ofit a matter which -could not have been discussed in the Committee. Mr. HUME said it did not follow that he was in the Home when time Committee voted the resolution. But if the emend- Aleut wms contrary to the rule anti practice he would not press it. lie only wished to know how resolutions of a Committee of Supply were to be amended., The SPEAKER said, that if the House amended a resolue tion ot' Supply, the alteration could only be: such a one as might have been made in the Committee. '!'hey :could increase the som, or diminish it; but he apprehended - it would be extreme ly irregular to introduce abstract twitter of opinion mixed up with a reported resolution of a Committee of Supply. - Al r.

Mr. Ii ER RI ES moved the bringing up the Report of , H ee eohoions of Supply, voted on the 20th of March. The Re port was brought up, and several of the Resolutions were agreed -to. Upon the Vote to the Society for Discountenancing Vice, Sir .F, NEWPORT moved the reduction of into details.of'rtniteln iitiwtohne vote 10., for training Parish Clerks and Sch o olmasters.

Mr. HUME said he was desirous of mentioning one act to the Chaneellor of time Exchequer, It was a case of p atrocity, arising out of the system of education in Ireland. Mr. GOULBURN spoke to order ; and said he believed the ilomi. Gentleman alluded to a case in the evidence relating to' chartered echools.

Ile has thought that he could not better complete an official communication, which he begs M. de Nagler to communicate to the Diet. Ile takes this opportunity to offer to his Excellency the assurance of his distinguished . considera tion.—Frankfort, Feb. 24. " D'A \STEW." Copy of a Ministerial Dispatch to his Excellency Baron D'Anstett, dated St. Petersburgh, Jan. 30, 1026. " By my circulars of lath (27th) December, and 10th (22d) January, I have informed all the Ambassadors, Ministers, and Agents of his Imperial 'Majesty, of the institutions and prose cutions of the inquiries rendered necessary by the events of 20th Dec. at St. , Petersburgh, and of the firth Jan. near Kiew. " By means of these inquiries, facts have already been proved which disclose the successive plans of the conspirators, and which are related in the annexed summary view, which I send you by order of his Imperial Majesty, and which you will com municate to the Germanic Confederation. " It will participate in all the honour which must be in. spired by the projects of the chiefs of this odious intrigue, but it will also participate in the consolation which we have expe rienced un seeing, at the same time, both the inconsiderable number of the great criminals, and the entire want of means to accomplish their fatal designs ; and lastly, their plans them selves, which could not succeed, as well on account of their absurdity as of the statements of which the Russian Armies an Nation have again, in their last circumstances, giVen proofs equally unanimous and honourable.--Accept, - &.c. N ESSE 1,110 DE." PATITS, MARCTT l9.—Scvnal Journals, the same which, on occasion of the recent events at St. Petersburgh, uttered so much false reasoning, are now recommending the same system of error on the death of the King of Portugal. Nothing, however, can be more plain • than all that the Journals seek to make obscure. What we know of the Treaty lately concluded between King John V i..nd the Emperor of Brazil, makes no change in the rights of Don Pedro to the Throne of Portugal. It merely stipulates that the two kingdoms shall be separated after the death of King John. Now, unless there are private stipula. tins, and a renunciation of Don Pedro in favour of Don Miguel, the Emperor remains at liberty to accept for himself or his son the Crown of Portugal in that kingdom. It seems to us then, that if: there had been a renunciation of Don Pedro in favour of his brother, the Regency would have been established in the name of Don Miguel ; whereas, it is known, that immediately after the King's death, a frigate sail ed for Rio de Janeiro. ( Prom the Quinidieune of Sunday.) PAn Ts, MARCH 18.—Uur correspondent at Madrid, in a let ter of the 9th of March, says, that an important piece of news, the report of which was spread in that capital,' was a general subject of conversation. The political Clamor of the kingdom of Valencia, it iv said, has sent a report to the Government, according to which the two brothers Itazan, who landed on the coast of Malaga, and whose deaths have been announced, desired at the last mn ment to make disclmures. On this application their execution was suspended, utter the departure of the courier who brought the news of it. The result of these disclosures is, that they have announced ' the existence of revolutionary force* at. Naples, at Paris, and at [. • London, where plots against Monarchical Governments are continually formed.; The Duke de l'lnfantado has immediately dispatched official I notes ou this subject to the Cabinets of Paris, Naples, and I London. SOUTLI 'I,SIEII,ICA. In the La Plata 3fessenger, of the 3d of Ja nuary, appears a formal declaration of war by the Executive Government of Buenos Ayres against the Emperor of BRAZIL, together with the address to the citizens of the Republic, on the conduct of the Emperor and the necessity of resisting his aggressions. The following is a copy of these dOCUSIIPIIIS BUENOS AYRES, JAN. 2. " The war which the . Emperor or Brazil. has commenced against the republic of the united Provinces being evidently unjust, and having for its object to maintain by violence a p r n tn , e t i? o al n, g n c e that it'the h territory lwr o o f r tl es i e o s es as legitimate means of success, seduction and anarchy among the inhabitants of the bordering provinces, to separate them from the nation to which they belong, and that he does not disdain to feign and to assume their express will, contrary . to the most evident de monstrations, in order to deduce a legitimate title : " Considering that a Government which adopts Ruch- princi ples of conduct, and which attacks its neighbours in contempt of the laws which nations have established to secure their exist eller, must be repelled by all the means which the right of war has miule legitimate : " Considering that, notwithstanding the desire of the Govern ment of the united provinces, expressed in the decree of Oct. 6, 1021, to terminate maritime privateering, this measure has be come necessary in the present juncture, and that it is one of the most efficacious Means of bringing the Emperer of Brazil to reason, and inducing him to adopt the principles of moderation and justice, without which there can neither be peace nor se curity among nations : "The Government charged with the national executive has granted and decrees— " 1. Privateering ix authorised against the ships and property of the Emperor of Brazil and his subjects. " 2. Persons who desire to fit out privateers may obtain letters of marque according to the regulations of May, 1817, and under the guarantees and responsibility therein established. " 3. The present resolution will be solemnly published and posted up in all public places. " 4. The Ministers of War and Marine are charged with the execution of ON decree, which will be inserted in the national register. • (Signed) " .11. TAN GREGORIO DE - 11.JAS HERA& " ARCOS BALCARCE." PROCLAM.tTION• THE GOVERNMENT OF THE UNITED PROVINCES OF I.A PLATA. " Fellow-Citizens—The Emperor of Brazil has given to dui world the crowning proof of his injustice and immoral policy, msonsistent with • the peace and the security of his neighbours. After having usurped in the basest and most in famous manner d ie t hi s tory record*, a principal prrt of our ter ritory ; after having loaded our innocent compatriots with the weight of a tyranny the more cruel as the instruments of it were worthless and despicable ; and after the brave Orientalist had exposed the impostures on which he pretended to found his usurpation, he not only resists the voice of reason, but answers the claims of moderation with the cry of war ; be insults and evades anew our territory ; And with . the fury of a tyrant, with. out law or coniroul, he assembles as many of his, vessels as he can to pour Vengeance, desolation, and death on our,territory. " Citizens—% Let us all answer to the cry of war and yen the Emperor, in the geanee. The hour is come. From 'this moment we have no ratios n for pusillanimity, no thing to answer to the world for'the disasters of the war. They will fail ouphe head of him who provokes them.
